Quote: By : Mohamed Salih Mohamed Yassin Babikir Badri (1856 – 1954) was a social activist, who worked towards the women's education in Sudan. Work for women's education After having participated in the battle of Karari near Omdurman, he migrated to Rufaa, a small town in the Bleu Nile, where he founded the first school for girls in Sudan in 1907 and named it “al Ahfad”, which later transformed into the al Ahfad University for Girls. His thoughts about the girls’ education were strongly contested by the Sudanese conservative society who was skeptical toward the idea of letting the girls out for school. His autobiography “My Life”, considered as a Sudanese classical, is an important reference on the Sudan history in the Mahdiste era and during the British colonization.
